Shimardis, the God of the Sea

The god of the seas. While seen as a calm and reserved god, he isn’t afraid to show his darker side. Tsunamis and krakens are said to be his wrath being sent upon those that have scorned him. He is considered one of the more powerful gods despite not being among the Circle. His skin has become a deep azure blue with speckles of tan and and brown. He has a wild temper that only Sorel is able to calm. Sailors and islanders alike usually pray to him as their primary deity, and he repays them with safe sailing and prosperous fishing. Most depictions of him has a swirling wave wrapping around him while he holds a conch shell in his hand. He is constantly struggling with Foli for power, and sometimes their fights lead to tsunamis and rogue waves.

Worshipers
Temples of Shimardis are few and far between, and the church is disorganized, universally hated throughout Korinth, and perpetuated out of fear of the god. His church rests on his chaotic nature where disputes are ruled in favor of the strongest individual.

There are shrines dedicated to Shimardis, predominantly located in port cities and islands. Travelers by sea are sure to pay their tribute to him as the preaching of his clerics are built upon the terrible fate that would befall any who did not bring a sacrifice to him. Clerics are available at these temples who, for a price, would travel with sailors to ensure no harm is inflicted.
